| 100 | ( | 1 | + | 3 | x | ) | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 117 |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | × | 1 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | + | 100 | × | 3 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 100 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | + | 300 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 100 | × | 1 | − | 100 | x | + | 300 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 100 | − | 100 | x | + | 300 | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 100 | − | 100 | x | + | 300 | x | × | 1 | − | 300 | x | x |
| = | 100 | − | 100 | x | + | 300 | x | − | 300 | x | x |
| = | 100 | + | 200 | x | − | 300 | x | x |
| 100 | + | 200 | x | − | 300 | x | x | = | 117 |
